Fit criteria
RV park acquisition criteria
A private RV park acquisition review usually works best when there is enough income, documentation, utility clarity, and owner cooperation to underwrite the park responsibly. Fit is not only size or price; it also includes transition risk, guest mix, infrastructure, and local demand.
Open the private worksheet >What makes a park easier to underwrite?
Clean financials, recurring revenue, clear site count, documented utility systems, current licenses, stable occupancy, practical staff transition, and honest notes on deferred maintenance all make underwriting easier.
What creates extra review risk?
Risk can come from missing books, uncertain septic capacity, unresolved zoning or licensing questions, flood exposure, undocumented long-term occupants, major deferred maintenance, or income that depends too heavily on the current owner.
Can smaller parks still be reviewed?
Yes. Size matters, but a smaller park with clean records, durable income, and low transition friction may be more practical than a larger park with unresolved diligence issues.
Owner questions
Is there a minimum site count?
The site does not publish a hard minimum. Fit depends on the full picture: income, location, records, utilities, risk, and owner goals.
Are parks with septic systems eligible?
Possibly. Septic is common in many markets, but records, capacity, condition, and transfer requirements matter.
Can parks with deferred maintenance still be considered?
Yes, if the issues are understandable and can be underwritten. Hidden or undocumented problems are more difficult than clearly described ones.
